Chapter 417: He asks to save people

After He Pingsheng stepped onto the stage, Grandmaster Zhen Yu let out a deep sigh.

In truth, he did not trust He Pingsheng that much.

Moreover, he had every opportunity to refuse the other party's request.

After all, he was the team leader.

As long as he did not agree to the match, this rematch for the Qi State could not take place.

But he did not do so.

Why?

It was simple: if He Pingsheng were truly colluding with the other side, what use would it be to prevent him from having a rematch with Xiao Xuan?

Because behind Xiao Xuan, the Qi State still had nine other people!

As long as He Pingsheng intentionally lost a match later, the Qi State would still win.

Therefore, there was no need!

Rather than offending He Pingsheng, it was better to be magnanimous.

"Yesterday, He Pingsheng went to the Qi State's villa; there must be some shady deal!" Liang Huaqiu said with an indignant look.

Zhen Yu shook his head and said, "Not necessarily!"

"Let's just wait and see!"

On the arena!

Inside the small world.

It was still that same valley.

He Pingsheng was surprised to discover that the damage they had caused to the valley during their battle yesterday had been completely repaired today.

This...

Can it even do that?

After observing the world for a moment, He Pingsheng's gaze fell back onto Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Xuan no longer had yesterday's nonsense, nor did he have yesterday's arrogant aura.

Because he knew very well in his heart that he was no match for He Pingsheng; the reason he was standing here again today was because Long Yuan had told him that He Pingsheng would definitely let him win today.

He did not like this kind of handed-to-him victory.

He even despised it.

But there was no other way.

For the sake of the Qi State's victory, he could only accept this humiliation.

"Oh..." He Pingsheng said, "Not so many words today?"

"Hmph!" Xiao Xuan was straightforward: "If we're going to fight, then fight; don't talk so much nonsense!"

"Hehehe..."

He Pingsheng said, "Today, you shouldn't have come..."

"You will regret it..."

After speaking, he waved his hand forward.

Countless ice-attribute magic powers surged out from He Pingsheng's body, and accompanying the flying ice-attribute magic powers were infinite ice-attribute Dao laws.

In the surrounding void, flakes of snow drifted down.

The entire world became a world of ice and snow.

Divine Ability: Heaven Snow Locking Realm.

Now that it was being unleashed, the power of this Heaven Snow Locking Realm was even greater.

Last time, he relied on this divine ability to break the tenth dragon platform defensive array of the Liang State's imperial capital.

Later, he meditated in the Royal Spirit Pool for three months, tempering his Dao techniques, and his understanding of Dao techniques had doubled.

So naturally, the power of this Heaven Snow Locking Realm was now on a higher level.

Once the divine ability appeared, the wind and clouds of heaven and earth changed color.

"Damn it... what kind of divine ability is this?" Xiao Xuan, situated in the midst of the ice and snow, could feel the power of this divine ability even more.

He felt as if he were walking on the edge of death.

But Xiao Xuan was, after all, a heaven's pride expert, a supreme genius.

Boom...

The next moment, a protective shield condensed outside his body.

The moment this shield condensed, two three-foot-wide snowflakes flew out from the pitch-black, frigid wind, cutting straight toward his body without the slightest deviation.

The shield shattered instantly.

Then, four snow blades flew in from four directions.

For now, Xiao Xuan could still handle it with ease.

But as time passed, the number of snow blades grew larger and larger.

Four!

Eight!

Sixteen!

The magic power within He Pingsheng's body was continuously transforming into ice-attribute magic power, surging out in a torrent.

Slowly, Xiao Xuan began to struggle.

He couldn't keep up.

Finally, after he had exhausted almost all his spiritual power to shatter sixty-four snow blades, one hundred and twenty-eight more condensed into shape.

One hundred and twenty-eight snow blades, a guaranteed kill strike.

If it couldn't kill him, it didn't matter, because there were two hundred and fifty-six more behind it.

He Pingsheng's current magic power could only support up to two hundred and fifty-six blades!

If his magic power were sufficient, the limit of this divine ability would be eighteen thousand blades.

Of course, that would only be possible when his strength was extremely formidable.

At the very least, one would have to wait until the Soul Transformation stage, and even then, one might not necessarily be able to condense eighteen thousand snow blades.

One hundred and twenty-eight snow blades, carrying sharp attacks, roared toward Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Xuan opened his mouth, wanting to surrender.

Unfortunately, the wind and snow were too heavy; his voice couldn't get out at all.

He could only watch helplessly as the countless snow blades tore toward him.

Just when Xiao Xuan thought he was surely going to die, a point of cyan-white light suddenly ignited on his body.

With a bang, it transformed into a protective shield.

The ten thousand mountains of flying snow outside, the Heaven Snow Locking Realm divine ability, all vanished without a trace.

The sky cleared, and He Pingsheng's figure could be seen.

And there was one more person.

An old man with white hair and a white beard was standing beside Xiao Xuan.

It was he who had just intervened to save Xiao Xuan.

"Master He Wen?"

Upon seeing this person, the host was astonished beyond measure.

With a thud, the host knelt on the ground.

Countless others also bowed to the old man.

"Greetings to Master He Wen!"

He Pingsheng's pupils constricted; he took ten steps back and pinched a talisman in his hand.

The old man chuckled and said, "Little friend... we meet again..."

"By rights, I shouldn't have intervened today!"

"But if I, this old man, didn't intervene, a great talent of this world would have perished at your hands; he would surely have died!"

"So, after weighing it carefully, I suppose I've intervened to save him!"

"You owed me a favor back then... you wouldn't go back on your word, would you?"

The white-haired old man stared at He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng nodded and said, "Yes... thank you, Senior, for the grace of bestowing the Dao!"

"Hmm!" The old man nodded: "As long as you remember, I will use this favor to offset this one intervention today, how about that?"

He Pingsheng took a deep breath and cupped his hands: "Yes, this junior is convinced!"

"Good, good, good, good, good... hehehe... worthy of being the strongest Golden Core in the cultivation world throughout history... hehehehe..."

The old man waved his hand, and his figure vanished.

Everyone was stunned.

What did that mean?

What did Master He Wen just say?

"He said..." Tian Jiashen said: "Fellow Daoist He is the strongest Golden Core in the cultivation world?"

He had been somewhat unconvinced by He Pingsheng before, but after seeing He Pingsheng's divine ability just now, he was convinced.

But to say he was the strongest in the cultivation world, was that really possible?

"No!" Liang Huaqiu corrected: "Master He Wen said that he is the strongest Golden Core in the cultivation world throughout history!"

Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss...

Reflecting on Master He Wen's words, everyone was shocked.

Only Long Yuan's face was pitch black.

He had thought that He Pingsheng, being coerced by him, would show mercy today.

But this kid not only didn't show mercy, he even used a killing move right from the start?

Trying to kill someone from my Qi State?

This...

What does it mean?

Doing it on purpose for me to see?

"Liang State, He Pingsheng wins..." the host said: "Next, He Pingsheng, do you intend to continue challenging, or challenge tomorrow?"

He Pingsheng said: "Continue!"

After saying that, he added: "Today... I will fight until the Qi State is completely defeated!" ===== CHAPTER 418 =====
